Brachyscias is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae. Its only species is Brachyscias verecundus (common name - ironstone brachyscias[1]), described in 1999, from Southwest Australia.[2]
Conservation status
It is listed as critically endangered under the Australian government's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999,[1] due to there being just one confirmed population and extreme fluctuations in the number of mature individuals, together with a continuing decline in the habitat quality. Threats include "firebreak maintenance activities, lack of appropriate disturbance, inappropriate fire regimes, mineral exploration, hydrological changes, weed invasion and rabbits".[3]
